Hi Everyone!

I'm just new to this site and I hope someone can help enlighten me about the affidavit of support & the co-sponsorship thing.

I have filed an I-130 for my wife several months now & from some hear says, I also need to file an affidavit of support...My question is

when & where am I going to file this form? What if I cant produce an ITR for the last 3 yrs?

I also understand that should my income will not meet the requirement, I will be needing a co sponsor. Should she/he will filled up the same form?

When & where am I going to file this?

I would appreciate very much if you can help me.

Thank you so much in advance. God bless!

You will be needing the I-864. A joint sponsor will fill out their own separate I-864.

~ Moved from K-1 Process to IR-1/CR-1 Process - topic is about CR-1, not K-1 ~
